Chrissie with a lovely mirror from his five fish haul
Young angler Chrissie Wiggins has started using the new Tungsten Loaded hooklink recently and enjoying some excellent action, well done Chrissie!
‘I went for a quick 24 session at my local club water after finding a few fish showing not far out I quickly got into the swim before someone else jumped in there. Once in the swim got the rods out fast as I could.
I flicked two multi rigs out just to see if I could nick a bite. After a couple of hours with nothing to show I decided to tie up two fresh rigs using the new Tungsten Loaded hook link and my trusted size 6 stiff rigger hooks. I made them a little longer than what I was already using as the fish were defo more in the small bit of weed that was still there.
After a recast and two fresh rigs in the weed I felt confident for the night. After getting a few liners around midnight I decided to put in some bait dotted in and around the weed. The liners kept coming until about 4.30am then all hell broke loose!
In the space of 2 hours and 3/4kg of boillie I had 7 takes landing 5 and loosing 2.. I had three mid 20s mirrors and two upper double commons. With every take they all kited left and into this snag.
As soon as I was landing one, unhooking it in the net quickly changing the hook on the multi rig and getting it back out there the other rod was off! At one point I had two retainers with fish in. It was a mad few hours! With every fish I hooked they knew where they where heading but my trusted Syncro Loaded never let me down.
The Farlows mirror
A couple of nights later I visited Farlows and caught this lovely 26lb 4oz mirror, again on the same set up’.
